I suggest you have a look at Louis Ohland's pages at
http://webpages.charter.net/ohlandl/. He's got info on just about every MCA
card available, and just about every variation, too.

Well, that's true, but at least it's got a narrow header (all right, I don't
think that there's any official card-edge SCSI connector, but IBM uses it, of
course).
